Sure but it’s like having or not having a sprinkler system for your lawn. The less penalties is going make things easier. Ha I mean realistically does this team make the Super Bowl if it’s heavily penalized? How about those last few playoff games? How about illegal procedure on some of McPherson’s field goals. It’s a silly discussion
Completely agree.

You can't just point to one penalty that coat a game. The facts show that there are also some negative aspects to teams with fewer penalties (less aggression, less desire to keep QB from getting hit, not playing consistent tight pass coverage, etc, etc) that wipe out any benefit of fewer penalties.
There is no correlation between fewer total penalties and winning. That us a fact. Not an opinion. Learn the difference and you will no longer be "baffled".
It is more in the middle, of course penalties can hurt you but also you can overcome them as Soonerpeace says.
Sure helps being disciplined is all I am saying cause you can shoot yourself in the foot and lose games if you are not.
